    Hello list! I have been tasked with finding an alternative to our
    Citrix server. I am unclear if XCP will meet our needs so I thought
    I would ask the list. Our needs are:
    - published apps
    - printing to client printers
    - local mapped drives
    - audio

    I have looked on the website to see if XCP meets these needs but
    have not been able to verify. Can someone point me to a doc that
    will tell me if XCP meets our needs or perhaps you already use XCP
    in this capacity. Thanks for your help

Chris,
    XCP pretty much IS Xenserver minus the High Availability
functionality. If Xenserver is not doing what you want then XCP probably
won't either.


I think Chris may have got things a bit backwards.
From his needs, I think he means Citrix XenApp (MetaFrame) server.

XCP/Xenserver is "hardware virtualization".
XenApp is "desktop virtualization".

You can't use XCP for desktop virtualization. (But you can use XCP
for a virtual machine that runs XenApp)
